Dwight Howard was ejected in what could very well end up being his final game with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Howard was ejected with 9:51 left in the third quarter after receiving his second technical in Game 4 against the San Antonio Spurs. The Lakers center was arguing with officials about a physical play inside not being called in his favor.

The All-Star center yelled a few parting words at the court after walking past general manager Mitch Kupchak in the tunnel to the locker room.

Howard was whistled for his first technical foul of the game in the first half after shoving Cory Joseph around the head following a whistle that had been called in his favor.

The Lakers lost Game 4, 103-82, to the Spurs. The loss ended LA's season as the Spurs swept the Lakers out of the playoffs. In 21 minutes, Howard scored seven points and had eight rebounds.

Following the game, Howard admitted to losing his cool.

"It's over with now," Howard said afterwards of his ejection, according to ESPNLosAngeles.com. "I just got to do a better job of trying to keep my cool. It's very tough to be out there playing. It's an emotional game, you don't want to lose, and sometimes when things don't go your way, sometimes you react the wrong way. I just got to keep my cool."

Howard's ejection further depleted a Lakers squad that was already short on bodies. In Game 4 against the Spurs, the Lakers were without Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Steve Blake, Jodie Meeks and World Metta Peace due to various injuries and aliments.

After the game, Howard called the season a "nightmare."

He went on to say, "It's like a bad dream and we couldn't wake up out of it," Howard said of the season, according to ESPNLosAngeles.com. "That's what it felt like. It seemed like nothing could go right from the start, injuries and all that stuff, but we can get an opportunity to get some rest for guys who are injured, coming off injuries. A chance to rehab and think about what we can all do to better ourselves."

Howard is a free agent on July 1. Last season and summer, were filled with all sort of rumors about where Howard would be traded to. Now in just over two months, he will have full control of deciding where his NBA career will continue.
